Applicants who have successfully completed at least one year of study at an ABA-accredited
law school may apply to attend GGU Law as a visiting student. A visiting student is
defined as a student who wishes to attend GGU Law for one or more semesters, but expects
to receive a degree from his or her original law school.

Applications for visiting students must include the following:

Application for Transfer/Visiting Students available on the LSAC website

Non-refundable $60 application fee

Official law school transcripts

Personal essay explaining why the applicant wishes to attend GGU Law as a visiting
student

Letter of good standing from the current law school

Letter of recommendation from a current law professor

A completed Consortium Agreement from the applicant's current law school

Application Form

The application form, available on the LSAC website, must be completed during the appropriate application period.

Application Fee

The $60 application fee, payable by credit card through the LSAC website, must be
submitted along with the application form.

Law School Documents

All visiting and transfer applicants must submit their law school transcripts as part
of the application. Transfer students must also provide syllabi for all law school
coursework. Visiting students are also required to download and complete a Consortium Form.

Personal Essay

The personal essay is the applicant's opportunity to address the Admissions Committee.
The personal essay is also considered a writing sample and should explain the applicant's
reasons for enrolling in law school and for wanting to visit or transfer to GGU Law.
It should be concise, well organized and no longer than two double-spaced pages, typed
in 12-point font. Please do not submit books, videos, recordings, plays, theses, dissertations
or other materials in lieu of or in addition to the personal essay, these materials
will not be reviewed.

Letter of Good Standing

A letter of good standing is required for every transfer or visiting student. Applications
that do not include a letter of good standing will be considered incomplete and will
receive an unfavorable decision. For visiting students, the letter of good standing
should certify that the credits earned at GGU Law will be applied toward satisfaction
of the original law school's degree requirements. Visiting students may not request
an incomplete grade or other privileges afforded regular GGU Law students.

Letter of Recommendation

Transfer and visiting student applicants must submit at least one letter of recommendation
from a current law school professor. We strongly discourage letters of recommendation
from friends, acquaintances and/or family members who can attest only to issues of
personal character.

Seat Deposit

Upon admission to GGU Law, transfer and visiting students may be required to make
a non-refundable seat deposit of $300 to secure a seat in the entering class. All
deposits will be credited toward the student's initial tuition payment.
